Drafting corners and safeties in the 1st is dumb IMO, especially if Austin or a stud DE is on the board.

I've seen you post this sentiment several times, Mak. Why do you say this? If you can get an elite CB isn't it worth investing a 1st round pick in? It's a passing league, right? I understand that pass rush hides a lot of secondary flaws, but I still think you overstate things. Then again that's why I ask you to explain your position; because I don't pretend to be a draft guru.

Ireland was quoted last week as saying he was interested in drafting the positions that were expensive: QB, WR, saline and CB. I would have to agree with the logic. That would make CB one of those positions in play.

Vaccaro really is a fantastic player. Some team will get a great addition to their defense.

I don't know. I watched a lot of Big 12 ball (being an Iowa State fan), and I've never been all that impressed with Vaccaro. He doesn't have much in the way of speed. He's very capable in man coverage, but I'm not convinced he's a good zone player. He also has a tendency to miss tackles. Maybe I'm a little biased against him, but I wouldn't like to see us grab him in the first round.

I have a Vaccaro thread from about 6 weeks ago on here. Full of alot of good analysis.He's the real deal. I think he'll be a top 5 NFL safety in 2 years.

Quote:

Texas FS Kenny Vaccaro ran forty times of 4.59 and 4.63 at the NFL Scouting Combine.They're not sensational times at first glance, but Vaccaro weighs 214 pounds and is very light on his feet even if his straight-line speed isn't sensational. In last year's West Virginia-Texas game, Vaccaro gave Tavon Austin all kinds of problems in the slot; Austin was only able to get open against Texas' other DBs. Vaccaro remains a strong candidate to be drafted in the top 25.
